UV lights (containing mercury) used in HVAC systems. They are used as bio
filters in some HVAC systems. You might come across these in your sqg

EPA site with some studies of these lamps.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Hi, Erich: Just had a call from Bill Bosco [Haines AC, <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Bonita</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Springs</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>
239.992.1551] about disposing of UV lights from AC systems. The UV lights
contain mercury and are used somewhere in the air flow system (usually intake
before the coils, sometimes downstream of the blower). Bill said that
they are becoming more and more common in AC systems to control/reduce the
build up of mold in the duct system or on the coils. First I have heard of UV
lights in AC for disinfection purposes. I have heard of them being used to
disinfect water from wells. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I told him about the incineration prohibition and that <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Lee</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>
solid waste went to a combustor so he could not throw them into the trash. I
advised Bill to contact you to see whether your recycling program could help
him since he estimated that they would have maybe 10 of these lamps, max, in a
couple of month period. I did say that if you could help him, there would
probably be a pass through charge. He is primed to recycle since he is a
transplant from <st1:State w:st="on">Maine</st1:State> approx 10 years back and
knows how serious <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Maine</st1:place></st1:State>
